Originally posted by daggum View Postwell roy jones was dominating his third division and unifying titles with reggie johnson. oscar delahoya was in his 4th division and had just beaten whitaker, quartey and had a controverial loss against trinidad in a unification fight. trinidad had 17 defenses and had just beaten oscar in a unification fight. then we have floyd who had beaten genaro hernandez, angel manfredy, carlos alberto rios, and justin juuko. doesn't really fit to me.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostOne, you have six more names to go. Two, one of those fighters dropped because he lost and the other fell because he looked like crap in winning. Within months after, all three had leaped over Floyd again. You are whining like a girl over a two month span when the list was in flux and Floyd creeped up briefly. Get a grip.

Originally posted by daggum View Postyeah floyd looked great against justin juuko. what does that prove? everyone looks great against subpar opposition. no reason for him to be ranked #2 in the world and leaping over guys who fought the best. People wanted to crown floyd the best without him earning it. it's plain to see. He fought some good fighters for sure but he mostly coasted on expectations rather than results. A guy like pac didn't get noticed till he actually accomplished something. If pac was beating justin juuko i don't see him being #2 in the world. Even when he beat barrera and was a 3 division champ he was only #6.
He wasn't ranked highly due to beating Justin Juuko.

Originally posted by daggum View Postwell he leaped from #8 to #2 based on beating justin juuko, carlos alberto rios, and carlos gerena. So maybe he was highly ranked because he beat carlos alberto rios or carlos gerena?
Or because of what he'd done recently before that combined with other fighters performances.
Come on, have some sense.

Floyd made a career of avoiding the best. Would of gotten a sht of load of respect had he fought margs cotto and williams in their prime and not retire like a punk

Daggum vs IMDAZED.
Don't think these two BS ATGs have collided before.
When I read one's post, I think he's winning, before I read the other's and change my mind.
